> It contains Greek characters
Well it rather contains Greek *symbols*, to be used mainly for
scientific purposes.
The font in question is an old symbol TrueType font, not having a
(native) Unicode cmap. Instead, it contains a Windows symbol map
(3,0), to be addressed in the character range 0xF000-0xF0FE. You have
to select this cmap manually.
However, the forthcoming FreeType version (to be released very soon)
has code to automatically synthesize a Unicode cmap (3,1) based on
glyph names, and which get activated automatically. This means
that...

... this use case *will* work properly then.
